The Heartfulness Meditation Center, in Richmond, will sponsor an International Yoga Day gathering on June 21, with yoga in a wooded outdoor area from 7:30 to 9 a.m., followed by indoor group meditation at 9 a.m. and refreshments at 10 a.m. No prior yoga or meditation experience is required. Participants may bring their own mat. This event is meant to be simple, calm and beginner-friendly. The yoga session will be gentle and accessible, with time to breathe, move and enjoy the peaceful natural setting around the center. The International Day of Yoga is a worldwide observance dedicated to the practice and philosophy of yoga, not just the physical poses, but the broader idea of harmony between mind, body, spirit and nature.

The meditation session is open to all ages, but anyone under 18 attending meditation must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
